Marseille tarot has gained popularity for a long time, and Various cards are sold all over the world even now with various pattern textures and sizes. Classic type of cards have unique charm such as slight touching of lines and misfit colors though their portability and appearance are not really ideal. For such reasons, although it may be presumptuous, I made up my mind to create more beautiful and easy-to-use cards by myself. I reproduced the patterns carefully in detail so that the goodness of the classic Marseille tarot cannot be lost. The size of the cards was finished in mini size so that users can carry them in their bag. However, I received requests like “Aren't there standard size cards?” a lot so the standard size has been added to the lineup this time. The scenes of the card production are shown in my weblog “mamanmiyuki's diary” and website “mamanmiyuki's closet”.  Please take a look at them once. I would be really happy if the cards would serve you as a good partner yours.

＊Shuffling the Deck＊

 

Let's master the method with the 22 major arcana first.
First, line up the cards in turn, bundle them face-down, and pile them up.  Next, divide the cards into three parts and pile them up in different order again.

Next, shuffle them with both hands. Choose a card face-down, face it and tell fortune by your favorite expansion method.

 

＊Reading the Cards＊
